Starting Thursday, March 7, 2019, students and employees of the Stony Brook University campus community can jump on a free ride to explore the local community.

The PJ/SBU Shuttle will run in a continuous loop between the University and Port Jefferson Village, with a stops at the shopping center on Rt. 25A with Wild By Nature and Stop and Shop and the Port Jeff LIRR station.

The PJ/SBU Shuttle will pick up passengers at the SAC Loop, the Chemistry Loop and the Chapin Apartments bus stop. The Shuttle runs Thursdays, 3 pm to 9 pm; Fridays and Saturdays, 11 am to 9 pm; and Sundays, 11 am to 6 pm. Just show your Stony Brook ID and the ride down Port is free.

This pilot program is designed to let campus members enjoy the dining, shopping and entertainment of Port Jefferson Village without worrying about parking. The PJ/SBU Shuttle will run until May 23, 2019. Look for more details and a website next week.

Such a great idea! Yes, definitely extend Friday and Saturday nights a bit, maybe until midnight. That gives students time to figure out their crew for the night, get them selves to Port Jefferson, finish their meals, and stretch their legs before returning back to campus. Otherwise they might not use the service for fear of not making the return shuttle.
